I'm assuming they are 375's? If they're actually 750's then definitely yes, and get me one. I would personally love to be able to splurge on another bottle, but I think the 2006 I have (which I paid about the same for) will just have to be my limit, I think.

Wine Library wants $625 for a 750 mL, if that helps you decide.

YES. Can you buy one for me? Seriously. Where are you located? I will pay for shipping.

HAK just emailed me. I am popping my head out of my wine study books and a pile of dirty diapers to say I would like 2 bottles, I will mail you a check.
I paid $230 for my 375 which was considered a great price at the time. THIS IS A WINE NOT TO BE MISSED. If you can swing it, grab this.

Please PM me for the address to send a check.

Hi to all! I am swamped with schoolwork, I have my WSET exam in May towards my DWS.
The girls are doing great, getting very big and we are out most days.
Jackson's school is finally settled and between fighting for funding from the state for next year and funding for his current school I have had very little free time to be on the boards. Hopefully things will settle down in the fall.
Shamer is well, busy with work. He just presented at a conference in New Orleans with risk software products he has developed for his company.
Best to all, K

If you wish you can ship to me. I have a doorman. And you will not get stuck with 2 bottles. I will ask a friend who collects high end wines if he wants 2.
Let me know. I can hand off PB's and Dsapps wines to Cesare.

I'll also being going up to Kent, CT for Memorial Day weekend. And depending on timing and scheduling I was thinking I might try to arrange to meet up with PB because I have Concannon magnums to give him for the CT peeps. So if that ends up happening I can bring the d'Yquems.

6 bottles have been acquired for $1051 with tax. No wood crate. I would prefer to ship once if there is any way you can figure out the wootlegging amongst yourselves. Please let me know who gets what and who to ship to.

Given that it's only been the East coasters so far, any chance I could get a couple bottles through polarbear? I sent you an email, as I have a local person in Seattle who I may be able to hit up to buy a couple bottles for me.

And you also have the Hunt Country for me and rlrct. So I am counting on meeting up. Some nice parking lot, near a police station.

A very good Sauternes that is considered to be right behind d'Yquem is Chateau Rieussec. It is priced a bit lower and is mighty fine. The vineyard is owned by the Rothschild family and they take good care of it. I had a '95 a while back that was absolutely fantastic, good acid to balance the sugar, a lot of apricot, peach and floral notes and a finish that went on into the next week! Well worth checking it out if you don't have the money for d'Yquem.

And I am pretty sure that K has good storage conditions.

(jealous)Yup, she's got a nice pretty lil Eurocave full of d'Yquems (/jealous). When we got our '06s we had them shipped to her and she held onto mine for me until we could do the exchange.
Yeah, these things won't be ready to drink for a good 10 years minimum. I'm pretty sure you'll get it before then.

I'll cough up one more of mine. Please email me so I can tell you where to send the check.

The reason I was suggesting paper checks instead of PayPal is that PayPal has a limit on how much you can withdraw before you have to pay. Generally I greatly prefer PayPal otherwise. Though we have the ability to scan checks in at home to deposit them which makes it easier.

Any tips on shipping wine as a consumer? I've heard something about telling UPS that it is jelly? I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be covered by the carrier if anything happened to it though.

Planning to ship 6 to K and 2 to oto. I will PM/email you all about where to send the $.
